Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For crust and filling
1 1/2 cups finely ground or crushed chocolate wafer cookie crumbs (about 7 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup coarsely chopped chocolate-covered English toffee bars (such as Skor or Heath; about 4 ounces)
1 1/2 pints coffee ice cream, slightly softened
For topping
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's), chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make crust and filling:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Mix cookie crumbs and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Bake until crust is set, about 9 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped toffee over cooled crust. Spread ice cream evenly in crust. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Make topping:
  • Combine cream and butter in medium saucepan. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate; let stand 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Mix in vanilla. Let topping stand until cool and slightly thickened but still pourable, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour white chocolate topping over ice cream tart; tilt pan to cover top of tart completely. Freeze until topping is firm, about 1 hour. Sprinkle remaining toffee over. Freeze until tart is firm, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared 5 days ahead. Cover tightly and keep frozen.)
  • Using small knife, carefully loosen crust from pan sides. Gently push up tart bottom to release tart and serve.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
TART SHELL:
3/4 cup Crisco® Butter Shortening, chilled
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
FILLING:
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
1 tbsp. Crisco® Butter Shortening
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 tsps. FOLGERS® Instant Coffee Crystals
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup toffee bits, divided

Steps:

  • HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9-inch round fluted tart pan with removable bottom with no-stick cooking spray.
  • COMBINE shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Sift flour into small bowl; add to shortening mixture. Mix on low speed until mixed.
  • TRANSFER to lightly floured surface; shape into disk. Press onto bottom and up sides of prepared pan (make sure the finished edge is flat). Chill until firm.
  • PLACE a square of aluminum foil over crust; fill shell with 2 cups dried beans or rice to keep crust flat. Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans; bake about 20 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool.
  • HEAT 3/4 cup cream and 1 tablespoon shortening in microwave in medium bowl until boiling (about 90 seconds). Add chocolate chips; whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • RESERVE 1/2 cup chocolate mixture. Pour remainder into cooled crust. Refrigerate 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator. Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.
  • ADD remaining 1/2 cup cream, 1 cup whipped topping, coffee crystals, cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Beat on high 2 minutes (or until coffee has dissolved), scraping down sides occasionally.
  • STIR in 1/2 cup toffee bits. Spread over chocolate layer. Refrigerate 2 hours (or overnight, if desired). Spread remaining whipped topping over coffee layer; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits.
  • CUT tart into 8 slices; place slices on serving plates. Place remaining chocolate mixture in small resealable plastic food storage bag. Microwave until warm. Cut small corner off bag; squeeze to drizzle over tart slices; serve.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before starting, measure and prepare all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Use Quality Coffee: Choose a high-quality coffee that you enjoy the taste of. Freshly ground coffee beans will provide the best flavor.
  • Temper the Eggs: When adding the hot coffee mixture to the egg yolks, do it gradually while whisking continuously. This will prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Pay Attention to the Crust: Make sure the crust is fully baked before pouring the filling. If the crust is not cooked through, it will be soggy.
  • Chill the Tart: After baking, let the tart cool completely and then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tart to set.
  • Garnish Elegantly: Before serving, sprinkle some instant coffee powder or chocolate shavings on top of the tart for a touch of elegance.
